Some shell jackets are just not cut out to handle rough environments, but the Trilogy from Millet is ready for it and is a sound investment for any adventurers closet. First of all the Millet Trilogy GTX Pro jackets offers up great breathability, protection against harsh weather, and the material offers exceptional durability.

The Gnar Lite DriDown jacket can be worn by itself on cool windy days or even under a shell on frigid days. As the DriDown name suggest Gnar Lite jacket is filled with 800 fill DriDown™ hydrophobic insulation for superior warmth, especially on those bone chilling, wet damp days.

The Helly Hansen H2 Flow jacket is designed similar to your other shell jackets. It features a design that takes 200g Polartec brushed fleece jam in between two layers of material. On one side, the inner material is a mesh liner and on the other side, the outer facing material is a ripstop polyester shell.

The Mithrilite jacket from Outdoor Research can give you the best of both worlds in terms of protection from the elements and breathability. The custom membrane fabric used for waterproofing and breathability does a great job to prevent wind , snow and water from getting in while allowing humidity from high output activities out so you stay dry and comfortable.

The Marmot Zion softshell is quite an amazing jacket. First of all the Marmot Zion can get rid of moisture very effectively, mainly due to its use of Polartec’s NeoShell Membrane. No pit zippers are needed here to vent out the moist air from inside, the NeoShell membrane does the job. The material is also warm and blocks anything bad weather throws at it.
